Samantha Luck is Earth's brightest superhero prospect. And also the reason it might get plunged into another Dark Age. Fresh off the Second Cape War and decades of uneasy peace stitched together with propaganda and power, New America’s most prestigious superhero university is bracing for its newest class of government-certified saviors. For Sam, daughter of the greatest hero alive today, it’s the final step toward cementing her legacy as Earth's future guardian. Projected to be the best superhero of her generation, university should be a piece of cake. Unfortunately, Pantheon U isn't on the same page, and neither are the villains hiding in plain sight. Trapped between morally gray professors, a school quietly cannablising its students, and an old, cold, angry evil growing beyond the gates of Pantheon U, Sam has her work cut out if she wants to survive until graduation. What's four years for a girl who's (mostly) invincible? Ignoring the sex with supervillains, the drugs shared with clingy ex-girlfriends, and a freshman class stacked with teenagers powerful enough to level entire city blocks, this should be a walk in the park. Besides, if she doesn't make it, that means the humans win - and for an alien whose home world got wiped out by the same race she's grudgingly sworn to protect - violently, or otherwise - there's no chance in hell she's graduating as anything less than Number One. Which is easier said than done, because Pantheon U is going to do everything it can to make her earn that spot.
